“We appeal to basically foodies,” said Dominic Palmieri, whose concessions at the L.A. fair include Biggy’s. “And in that category you got the guys who want to have the big items. You have those who like spicy. You have the ones that like sweet. You have the ones that are looking for barbecue and you have the ones looking for fried food. We try to take all of those components and innovate fresh new food every year.”

Ramen continues to be the rage in restaurants. Now Charlie Boghosian of Chicken Charlie’s fame has put it on the Midway.
